Exploring BANGKOK and Beyond

Chern Hostel was our base for 7 nights. Front reception staff were super friendly and very helpful. They helped us find out of the city excursions We had breakfast there every day: banana pancakes were my favourite!

Front reception area with breakfast room. All of us guests spent many hours relaxing poolside.

We discovered a local restaurant within a 5 minute walk and enjoyed dinner there most evenings. It is located beside a cannabis store!

I am looking pretty hot in the below photo...plus 43C. We learned to get into Air Conditioned places every 30 minutes. One time we were so overheated we ducked into a hotel to cool off: lots of water (beer?!) and a huge salad really helped.

Chefs at work!

First up: the ever dependable "hop on-hop off" bus tour. We bought a 2 day pass and went around Bangkok. Our hostel was located near the Big Swing (yellow dot on below map). We had an adventure one time when we got off and couldn't figure out where to Re-board! 😂
